02nd June, 2026 02:30 PM
Ademba Allans has said he received heavy criticism on X after speaking out in support of Kenyan women and children on the June 1, 2026, peaceful march.
He shared his experience in a statement, saying some people attacked him for taking that position. Despite the criticism, he maintained his stand on the issue of femicide.
“I have received a lot of criticism on X for standing with Kenyan women and children yesterday, the 1st of June,” Ademba Allans said.
He explained that the criticism came with different labels from people who disagreed with his views. Ademba said he had been called several names because of his support for women and children. He, however, appeared unfazed by the reactions directed at him online.
“I have been called a lot of names, including male feminist and simp of the year. Lakini si ni life,” Ademba Allans said.
Ademba also used the opportunity to raise concerns about the growing cases of femicide in the country. He said the issue should receive urgent attention and be treated as a serious national matter. His remarks added to ongoing conversations about the safety of women in Kenya.
Declaring femicide a national emergency
As he addressed the criticism, Ademba stressed that femicide remains a major concern. He called for stronger attention to the matter and said it deserves a national response. His statement focused on the need to recognise the seriousness of the killings affecting women.
“Femicide should be declared a national emergency,” Ademba Allans said.
His latest remarks come after he previously questioned women representatives and nominated senators over their response to the rising cases of femicide in Kenya. On Tuesday, May 19, 2026, he raised concerns about whether enough was being done to address the issue as more women continued losing their lives.
Ademba mentioned leaders, including Esther Passaris and Karen Nyamu, while asking what action had been taken. He said he wanted to know whether women leaders had addressed the matter in Parliament. He also questioned whether citizens would once again be left to organise demonstrations to push for action.
“Esther Passaris and all other 47 women reps. Plus all those nominated senators, kina Karen Nyamu. Wanafanya nini about the rising cases ya femicide?” Ademba Allans asked.
He also questioned whether the leaders had spoken about the issue in Parliament or if they were waiting for another public response similar to the femicide march that took place in 2024.
